The THEN photo was taken circa 1950, the Now was this year 2013.
In the 60’s the fishing vessels would fill the Harbor waiting to be Blessed.
My View of Life on the Dock

Find yourself or your friends, in over 200 faces captured as they approached the Finish line.
Could not be prouder of our team who once again just absolutely crushed it with this year’s Fiesta coverage.
You can forward this comprehensive Fiesta Coverage list to your friends and relatives who might have missed out on the fun.
Thanks for watching and thanks to our awesome team!
From the audience’s point of view, the boat that is being used to transport the Greasy Polers is not as good as last year’s boat because it is enclosed. We Cannot See Your Awesome Costumes. Last year an open floating barge was used and it was so so much fun to be able to see what you were wearing.
Clips from last year’s Sunday Greasy Pole have been borrowed, with my permission, by many other media outlets, including Chronicle and the HarborWalk story videos, in particular, the opening sequence.
We want to see your hilarious costumes. Please bring back the open barge!!!
Video also includes some award photos.
This is what happens when you row seine boats💚❤🇮🇹 https://t.co/9snOQfTw5r

Joey DaSilva wins the Guinness World Record for the fastest time Greasy Pole Walk, in only 4.96 seconds!
Lots of footage of Joey DaSilva (Nick Avelis, and many Greasy Pole Champs, too) in this Fall Greasy Pole Fundraiser video.
I’m going to break this down to one a day. It is in reference to the Massachusetts Municipal Association has awarded the Gloucester HarborWalk with the Kenneth E. Pickard Municipal Innovation Award in which Gloucester competed against 351 other communities and won.
